My daughter was born 2 years ago. i gained about 30 pounds. why she needed the extra coushioning I’m not entirely sure, but that’s okay ( she weighed 7 lbs) After that a lovely depo shot served to add another amount that I really could have done without.
This goal has eluded me for the longest time. No matter what I do, it seems that I just cant get rid of the weight, but I refuse to give up and noone else should either! It’s discouraging to get on the scale after a week of saying no to delicious chocolate cake, only to see that somehow you gained a pound, but it is not half as bad as the alternative. Aside from the health issues some people have ( I say some because not all people with extra weight are unhealthy, or unhappy) I personally HATE clothes shopping. I love clothes, don’t get me wrong there. What i hate is seeing myself in the mirror, almost like time has frozen and I’m still waiting for my baby to be born. I don’t know about anyone else, but I realllly hate that.
I want to wear my prebaby clothes and damnit! I am going to!
I found the gym is helping me get into the excersise mode, and having food poisoning so much last year has helped me eat better, although I don’t recccomend that. A buddy helps too, I luckily have my mom.

If you’re getting discouraged, don’t worry, you’re not alone! We’re all in this boat together sort of ( well the ones that have this goal). You can do it!!!!
